| 0:00.0 | Hey, server listeners, I recently responded in an episode to an email in which someone |
| 0:06.8 | wanted to date their therapist. |
| 0:09.8 | She said that she had a large romantic and sexual attraction to her therapist and she wanted |
| 0:16.3 | to date her therapist and she had heard my other talks on the podcast about this warning |

| 1:22.2 | with their therapist and some people said that it wasn't a problem. |
| 1:25.9 | And so I thought in this episode, I would read all of those emails that I received the |
| 1:30.4 | past couple of days and talk about them, analyze them, and comment on them as a way for |
| 1:37.2 | both therapists and clients to understand the landscape of boundaries because whenever |
| 1:45.2 | we talk about boundaries, meaning, you know, should you date your therapist or should |
| 1:50.2 | your therapist tell you about their divorce that they're going through or what if the therapist |
| 1:55.5 | talks about their own children or what if the therapist meets you at a restaurant instead |
